Broad Spectrum
A label applied to sunscreens that offer protection against both UVA and UVB rays, both of which contribute to your risk for skin cancer. A term for sunscreens proven to defend against both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) radiation. Passing the FDA's broad-spectrum test shows that a product provides UVA protection that is proportional to its UVB protection. "Scientific data demonstrated that products that are 'Broad Spectrum SPF 15 [or higher]' have been shown to reduce the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging when used with other sun protection measures, in addition to helping prevent sunburn," states the FDA website.
